General Okita stood on the ridge, so small.
Just like her position in history, so, so... small.
She raised her head, looked at the God of Fukutsu who was holding a naginata and cut off all of Yukina's hair, that is, her lover, Anno Samura, and opened her mouth.
She lowered her head, wiped away the tears of disappointment, and then held her hand on the hilt of California Qingguang's sword.
"Zuocun, I'm sorry..."
"Perhaps as a lover, I failed to fulfill my responsibility to discover your riddled heart..."
"But now...I can stand here, shoot you down, and fall with you."
Zheng——
California Qingguang took out the sheath, held the sword back, and closed his eyes.
"One step, Yueyin."
call out--
Okita Souji's body suddenly flickered.
In an instant, she appeared by the lake.
Then he turned around quickly and disappeared again.
"Two steps, seamless——"
She stepped on Miss Aaron's wings just right.
"Three steps, absolute sword——!"
call out--
Okita Souji appeared in front of Fujin God.
"[Three Stages of Ignorance]!!!"
Poof——————
California Qingguang passed through Zuo Cun's body without any accident.
The blood belonging to the God of Fujin splashed in the sky, adding a bloody brilliance to the black sky.
but--
There is nothing wrong with Fujin God.
He who devoured Kurokawa Mountain would not be harmed by this level of swordsmanship.
But he still turned around.
Behind him, Souji Okita has disappeared because he has no place to stay.
Fujin God subconsciously stretched out his hand and grabbed Okita Souji's hand.
"Will doing this make you feel happy?"
Okita Souji raised his head, looked at Zuo Cun's eyes full of despair, and asked with a choked voice.
"...Maybe."
Fujin God said this after being silent.
"...I won't ask you why you made such a choice, Zuo Cun."
Ryoma stood on Miss Aaron's back, hovering not far from Fujin God, looking at him, his voice trembling slightly.
he knows.
He knows everything.
Because it belongs to the perspective of the servant, Ryoma can see it.
He could see how much pressure Zuo Cun endured and how much he lost after his death.
It can be said that Zuo Cun's complete collapse began with his death.
"Ryoma."
Fujin God, stood up straight.
He and Ryoma Sakamoto looked at each other and called out.
"If... you had not died, would we have really built a perfect country?"
he asked.
His voice was trembling, but it didn't seem to be from sadness or anger.
He raised his wings and placed Souji Okita on Miss Aaron's back.
Then he retreated, retreated, and distanced himself from Ryoma.
The red light in his hand entangled, gathered, and turned into a long bow.
He did not point the longbow at anyone.
Instead, he aimed at the sky, at the inky black sky that he had built with his own hands.
call out--
The arrow flew towards the sky, pierced the sky, and shattered the sky.
Fujin God spread his wings and lowered his height.
He stood in the middle of the light, with a compassionate smile.
"At least, please let me get my wish..."
"At least I have seen false happiness."
"Chaldea, come and destroy the singularity."
He persisted.
He closed his eyes.
The huge emotional appeal pulled everyone into a world of silence.
There is only Zuo Cun in this world and no one else.
No one could save him, just as he could save no one.
"This is...an inherent barrier..."
Mashu recognized what ability Zuo Cun was using and murmured.
Everyone was walking with Zuo Cun, in twos and threes, but Zuo Cun was the only one who was always alone. Even if there were people walking beside him, they would soon fall down and disappear without a trace.
He left alone.
It's like he arrived alone.
"Did that guy's heart turn out to be... like this?"
Okada Izo raised his head, looked at the wind and sand in the sky, and murmured to himself.
There was a trace of sadness in Shannan Keisuke's eyes, he raised his hand and let the wind and sand flow through his palm.
Nagakura Shinpachi sighed. Even in the end, he and Zuo Cun were hostile. He could even say that he disliked Zuo Cun quite a bit - but that didn't mean that he would hate Zuo Cun and walk on their path.
There is no one on the list who is not worthy of lamentation, not to mention... Samura has a good relationship with Serizawa Kamo and Shinami Nishiki.
Hijikata Toshizo closed his eyes, as if he wouldn't feel sad as long as he didn't look.
Even to the end of the Shinsengumi, even if he was the only one left, they still carried the sincerity in their hearts.
But what about Zuocun?
Is the person who lives with fragmented ideals really still alive?
Saito looked at Zuo Cun's back with a smile on his face as always.
He was the only one who saw Zuo Cun off.
Because he was the only one left alive until that time.
